Retirement tax questions

There are two ways to approach this.

 

First, you can give me just the box 3 and box 4 amounts on your W-2s as well as all entries in box 12 on the two(?) W-2s. Please don't read your W-2s, but tell us what is entered in TurboTax. Perhaps this will let us reproduce the issue.

 

Conversely, you could send us a sanitized version of your return. TurboTax has a process in which you can create a copy of your return with all the personally identifiable information removed, and then you send us the token by which we can view it.

 

Please send me a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

***Online Product***

 

  1. Sign into your online account.
  2. Locate the Tax Tools on the left hand side of the screen.
  3. A Drop down will appear. Click on Share my file with agent.
  4. This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created. Click on OK, the tax file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
  5. Please provide the Token Number that was generated onto a response to this thread.

 

***Desktop Product***

 

  1. Click into your return.
  2. Click Online and select "Send Tax File to Agent".
  3. This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created. Click on OK, the tax file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
  4. Please provide the Token Number that was generated onto a response to this thread.

Let us know which options works for you.
